Hello, I have some code which goes something like this...

package myPackage;

my @containerRefArray=();
my @containeeArray=();

...

sub get_parentRelPos (\%$) {
  my ($object, $name)=@_;
  my ($i, $j, $found);
  my @tmp;
  my $parentObject=$object->{'~PARENT'};
  my $objectIndex=$object->{'~entPhysicalIndex'};

  for ($i=0; $i < @containerRefArray; $i++) {
    if ($containerRefArray[$i] eq $parentObject) {
      $found=1;
      last;
    }
  }

...

I have followed this code through with the debugger, and find that everything is OK until the last; statement, after which @containeeArray contains nothing...

  DB<16> x @containeeArray
0  ARRAY(0xf132c0)
   0  HASH(0xf11260)
      'entPhysicalAlias' => undef
      ...
  DB<17> n
NIM_Contains::get_parentRelPos(/home/rt106745/dev-edit/modules/NIM_Con
+tains.pm:48):
48:       if ($found) {
  DB<17> x @containeeArray
  empty array

Does anybody here have any clues as to what might be going on?
The arrays contain references to tied hashes, if that's any help, although that shouldn't change anything, should it?

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
